Lyrics
Dawn Patrol
Drivin' down the highway past the speed of sound
Drink and drown from town to town, pass it all around
We're comin' to cook, going for broke
It's too late to turn back
Rock and roll's our ammo
And your city's under attack
Desperate men do desperate things driving down dark streets
Shoot to kill for the thrill, hotter than the heat
Radar race, high speed chase
Pedal to the floor
Sink or swim, it's me or him
I've seen it all before
Chorus
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Cruise control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Cruise control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Verse
Love her, leave her don't believe her, she don't tell the truth
Sinner's game, feed the flame
Burning up my youth
Pump and run, all or none, ready for the show
Center stage, under age
Deep as I can go
Chorus
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Take control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Take control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Solo
Chorus
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Take control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Take control, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Coming to get you
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey
Dawn Patrol, hey, hey...
